Safeway

"Well stocked shelves even with 2 days before Christmas! Perused the deli today. The soups are fresh and flavorful! The salads were made in the morning and tasted like how Mom would make it. I bought a custom deli sandwich. Was better than togo's. The clerk seemed happy to make it. Nothing seemed like a chore or too redundant."

"Today I went to Safeway store in 4309 Clayton Rd, Concord, CA due to The meat I bought contained suspicious drug element. I bought 4 packs of beef, shrimp, chicken and Swaii fish 2 weeks ago. I ate the shrimp for totally 3 times in separate days. Each time I got palpitation, high-blood pressure, anxiety, dehydration & huge urination, trouble on sleep, extremely dried mouth and the tongue & teeth feeling like having eaten young persimmon. Whenever I stoped ate Safeway meat, the symtoms also stoped. I initially thought there might be other reasons and foods causing that. However, after 3 times experiment and I finally filtered out other possible reasons, I did some internet research on my symptoms and what might cause that and I have found some drug and chemical related to that. I am definitely sure the Bistal shrimp contains certain chemical or drug which caused those troubles. I can provide those searches if Safeway want to know. The beef is also has the similar problem, but a little mild. However, because I only ate one time and did not take other experiments, so I will not be as sure as the shrimp. I did not try another 2 packs ( Chicken and fish) and I returned them due to I did not want to take my life in risk. I bought meat twice in Safeway of Willow Pass Rd, Concord at past, same package of meats, no any problem at all and I have not had any poison symptoms for 3 months since I did not buy in Costco any more. When I returned the food to store today, the manager seemed like already known what my purpose to visit there even before I opened my mouth. But he did not give me chance to talk about the problem and even did not ask at all. He seemed like already knew everything before I arrived which is weir!!! Many people involved, I could see, including those who always parked their car around my car in the parking lot. They know where I was going even before i arrived!!!"

"Is anyone concerned or unhappy about the recent switch of the Floral Manager changing abruptly from Alicia? I’m flabbergasted that someone that is well known with customers, but also greatly connected into the local community would be replaced. She is so talented with Floral, you name it, Alicia does it and is beyond accommodating to any request. From your basic bouquet, to balloon designs, proms, banquets, weddings, funerals, her work and artistic craft was a “God-send” to this store. I have had the privilege of Alicia creating spectacular floral arrangements for several dinner and Holiday parties, milestone birthdays, funerals. Now I’m forced to look elsewhere for any type of custom arrangements needed. I’ve observed the florals coming in a traditional and basic, nothing creative. I don’t have any confidence that the new Manager of Floral can accommodate any of these needs. I strongly feel this has been such a detrimental move for this store and believe that their sales will go down considerably. Alicia is also connected into the local community and schools and goes out of her way to maintain these relationships. This is the kind of relationship that has been proven to bring in constant revenue. Honestly, I don’t know what Dave Buck (Store Director) was thinking I question Mr. Buck’s decision and the obvious lack of observing and delivering pristine service to his customers. There is an old saying that says, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” In this case, things are now broken. Very sad. Anyone know of a great local florist?"

"9-13-23 shopping 1st day of weekly ad, shelves not filled, many items not stocked, the store is messy and dirty looking. The card section was in disarray, was looking for a 2yr old, nothing, tried for a boy birthday, nothing. Then to top this trip off I had to use the bathroom. An employee with a broom came out, my 1st thought was oh good it should be clean. Wrong again, it was filthy. I’ve shop Safeway since you opened that store, and before you came in. If I recall, it was a Lucky’s, and a Ralph’s. Please help your customers and get this store cleaned up. Not much can be done for the prices, but we should be able to shop in pleasant and clean facilities. Diane Deemer, Concord, California"
